What's the best way to max out your driving skill? Is it just driving around without crashing or what? Also what does it do? I'm assuming your handling gets better and braking to some extent. Lately I've been doing the recruit anyone cheat and recruiting a hooker. Then I put on the cars fly cheat and fly around really fast in a Turismo to make the driving skill increase. Seems kind of unrelated but I've noticed the skill won't increase unless I have a hooker as a gang member in the car. If I recruit grove street members they jump out while the car is flying and with no member in the car the driving skill won't increase. It works out good because when you turn off the console the cheat is disabled and you can drive around without flying. So far I'm a little past half way on the skill bar; I'm just wondering what to expect.

Expect it to take a Loooooong time to max out your driving skill. I have no idea about the flying cars cheat and its effect on your driving skill, but I do know that you have to basically just kee driving. I know that you can accelerate your skill by playing the Driving School missions in San Fierro. If you keep doing them over and over again until you have all Gold medals, you will probably max it out a lot quicker simply because you are doing nothing but driving in these missions.

I also think that your skills automatically go up when you pass with all Bronze at least, and maybe Silver and Gold as well, but this I am not sure about.

Basically, just keep driving and it will eventually Max out. This and the Motorcycle Skill is probably the SLOWEST to go up and max out, of all the skill levels, so be patient.
